[solved] backend server nginx down HAProxy

wesleylc1

hi @PiBa , it worked after changing the Http verification method option from OPTIONS to GET. Not finding because I was looking for this setting in the frontend.

According to the image, I can confirm that my backend is active

Hi @PiBa I am trying to configure this backend as https, but is in HAproxy presents the error "fL7STS / 404 in 2ms", which I can illustrate with an image, I can also validate that port 443 is already open on this server.

@wesleylc1 said in backend server nginx down HAProxy:

I can also validate that port 443 is already open on this server

There is no need to validate this.. haproxy knows the port is 'open' if it wasnt you would get a L4 issue, now its showing a L7 issue.. which means that the webserver is not responding with a 'good' 200 / 2xx or 3xx code. So assumes it is not ready to serve actual requests.

So instead of using nmap to check for open ports, run a curl or wget or fetch to check what the actual response of the webserver is.? And if what request should be made to get a proper status back if possible.. or if its the proper response then tell haproxy to expect 404 as a valid response for the healthcheck.. but that would not be my first choice...

So try and figure out what request needs to be made to get a proper reply back, perhaps a different method, or a different url? or does the webserver require SNI to be send when serving requests?? Once you know the issue change configuration accordingly to accommodate that.

Hi @PiBa this error occurred after configuring nginx to respond on port 443, worked fine with port 80, after applying the port 443 settings, started not loading web application.

According to the waget output on nextcloud.projectus.com.br, it connects to ports 80 and 443, but there is an error "HTTP request sent, waiting for response ... 302 found".

@wesleylc1 302 is redirect from nginx? You want server your backend (nginx) on https 443 port? - then haproxy backend MUST go to ip:443 of nginx with ssl checkbox enabled. Prepere for that you need clearly understand how PKI validation work. Or only do ssl offloading on haproxy? - then remove redirect to https on nginx at least for haproxy server ip and haproxy backend must speak to nginx 80 port...

Can you show nginx config? If you on nginx configure multiple site's they then haproxy backend must have action 'request header Host 'servername''.
Fyi: backend healthcheck issues will never be related to frontend configuration.

Hello everyone, I know this issue is more related to the nginx web server, not the HAproxy service. I did a few things, including deleting settings from the nginx configuration file and creating a new one based on official documentation, for example, the reported error became "502 Bad Gateway".

@wesleylc1 o_O, Really read previous message...
Redirect on backend to ssl, http2 on backend... Stop it... Think 5 mins.

wesleylc1

@dragoangel do you think I should leave nginx as http and redirect ssl directly to the backend?

best regards,
Wesley Santos

dragoangel

@wesleylc1 it will at least help you understand how it works. And latter you can configure second test backend with ssl. But in any case: redirects to subdomain, another protocol better be done on proxy, not on backend. And http2 is useless on backend - haproxy will use http1.1 when speaking with backend but will give h2 to end clients if you configure it on Frontend binding.

wesleylc1

@dragoangel As shown, my backend is already pointing to port 443 and selecting the SSL check box.

dragoangel

@wesleylc1 Lol red line on ipv4 192.168.x.x, funny. Why cares, you mentioned public domain (https://nextcloud.projectus.com.br), but masked private ip? Ok. And what haproxy status you now see on backend ?

wesleylc1

@dragoangel lol lol 502 Bad Gateway

@wesleylc1 Why at bottom writed Ubuntu...? You go to haproxy or to nginx and see this?.. In any case: go to nginx straight and check you backend first. It eork? If yes - then fix your healthcheck. If it still not work add header host on backend config of haproxy in case you have in nginx multiple domains on same port-cert

wesleylc1

Hi guys, I set up https internally on the nginx server, already responding to https requests on nextcloud.projectus.com.br, now I'm trying to apply backend settings to my front end, which is already configured to use port 443, but my The backend displays the error "L7STS / 400 in 46ms".

@wesleylc1 yes. That it. Try opening you frontend domain

wesleylc1

@dragoangel No external access yet.

dragoangel

@wesleylc1 No big matter, open internal haproxy address. Align your pc /etc/hosts file to resolve domain for test, or use unbound for point to internal ip, or etc

wesleylc1

@dragoangel internally it is accessible to the web page through the https protocol.
